IE7 Security problem with BT Home Hub Router

IE7 won't let you login to the admin webpage hosted on the router. It
repeatadly asks me for username and password, even though I know the
combination is correct (Firefox works as does IE6)

Info: Router BT HomeHub aka Thomson SpeedTouch 780

Happens on ALL routers.
I had to retype my user name and password and then it saved it.

IE6, Netscape, Opera, FireFox, Maxthon AND IE7 all access my D-Link router
ok here.

Yes, I get exactly the same problem. I enter "admin", and the password, and
it keeps asking for the logonid and password, eventually dumping me out with
a HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required error message. Any idea how we can get
this fixed, I did report exactly the same problem during beta testing of IE7.

I have the same problem with the BT Home Hub. I discussed it with BT Support
who basically said that the Home Hub software did not support IE7 & suggested
that I downgrade back to IE6.

All BT will say is that I should uninstall IE7 but as it's in full build Is
that wise?
Come on Microsoft - HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I noticed today that the Home Hub software has been auto-updated to version
6.1.1.R

I reinstalled IE7 & this now works okay :-)

Version 6.1.1.R now allows you to logon correctly when using IE7. Cheers
